Niche construction refers to a process by which organisms modify the abiotic and biotic features of their environments. This chapter discusses problems of accepting the phenomenon of niche construction in biodiversity research. It argues that the explicit incorporation of the niche construction perspective into empirical ecological research can provide insights to the complex patterns of spatial and temporal ecological changes.
